Tennis: Berdych fully recovered from injury and raring to go

Czech tennis number one Tomáš Berdych said on Friday that he has recovered from an ankle injury and is raring to play in next week’s Hamburg Masters tournament. The world number ten told the Czech press agency on Friday that he was feeling ‘great’ and that his physiotherapist agreed there was no reason for him not to play in next week’s competition. Berdych suffered the ankle injury at a crucial stage of his country’s Davis Cup tie last month which Russia won 3-2 to advance to the semi-finals. The Czech player was worried the injury could overshadow his preparations for the French Open at the end of the month after already missing Masters tournaments in Monte Carlo and Rome.
